One missed notice can cost thousands.
Deposit limits. Rent caps. Notice periods. Required disclosures. They change by state, by county, sometimes by city. LeaseBase tracks the rules for your jurisdiction — so you don’t have to memorize landlord law.
Compliance monitoring and guidance — not legal advice. Free for up to 3 units.
The rules are stacked against you.
California alone has 22 required disclosures. Miss one and you could face penalties, lawsuits, or voided leases.
“AB 2801 changed the deposit rules — did you update yours?”
As of July 2025, California security deposit limits dropped to one month’s rent for all landlords. If you’re still collecting first, last, and deposit — you’re violating state law. The penalty: the tenant can recover up to 2× the excess deposit.
“Your rent increase might be illegal”
AB 1482 caps rent increases at 5% + CPI (max 10%) for most California properties. Sacramento has its own tenant protection ordinance with different rules. The wrong increase amount on the wrong property could mean a forced rollback and legal fees.
“The notice you didn’t send”
30-day notice for less than a year. 60-day for more than a year. Different rules for just-cause cities. Wrong notice period = start over. Meanwhile your tenant stays, and the clock resets.
“The disclosure you forgot”
Lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 buildings (federal). Mold disclosure (CA). Bed bug history (CA). Prop 65 (CA). Flood zone (federal). 22 required disclosures in California alone. Which ones apply to your property? Are they all on file?

“I almost made an illegal rent increase on one of my Sacramento properties. I calculated 8% because that’s what I thought the market supported. LeaseBase flagged it — the AB 1482 cap for that property was 7.2%. One automated check saved me from a forced rollback, a tenant complaint, and potential legal fees. That’s when I understood: compliance isn’t optional, and it can’t depend on your memory.”
